How do you keep your moral up?

Just like the above comment, picture yourself and where you want to be, what your objective is, and how rewarding it will be to reach it, that should definitely help keep the morale up as you strive to get to that point, it’s all in your mindset

find other "short term releases" that release endorphins that wont break your caloric budget or set you back from your goals. You can still eat good tasting meals / junk food once in a while IIFYM. Dont have to be 100% clean, just need to stay on the path. Take the rock for example; his regiment and routine is strict as fuck yet once in a while he'll indulge in big time cheat meals (Just an analogy here, dont go eating 10k cal cheat meals)

For me its working on my particular goal, reading a good book, spinning plates, and lifting.

Changing your outlook for why you do these tasks will also help. The way you're describing your activities in the first paragraph is not an ideal mindset to have for why you're striving to make this progress. Its a negative outlook that will not sustain itself longterm. For me, lifting is my escape from such things and Ive conditioned that to be my 'short term release' for when I need to cool down or release in favor of food or drugs. it isnt a simple fix or change, motivation is fleeting; habits and mental tactics as to why you do what you do are more important for the long-term feasibility of your desire.

It really ultimately depends what you want. You need to picture that alongside your goals and redirect the totem pole of positive and negative stimuli. It shouldnt be a chore or taxing if its helping you towards what you want. Fuck weakess and defeatist mentalities. If you want to be the best, you need to focus and shift that negative outlook. How badly do you want it? Will eating that food which makes you happy for five minutes really get you to where you want to be? Think ahead. Plan ahead. Do not think only in the present. There's a lot of self reflecting you should do as to where you want to take your path and if your current habits are shaped in line with your desires.

Hope this helps.

Remind myself that Boone cares. Work harder.
